Starlink is a game changer

[Jeff]

Since I'm in the U.P. about 9 months of the year now, for the sake of taking care of the forum I had to do something better for internet. We were paying $72 a month for att hotspot, and it had almost zero upload capabilities, and being celular, in a very spotty reception area, it was always trouble.  We broke down and got a starlink system, and I can say after the first week, Wow!!  Everthing about Elon's system has been amazing, including getting it set up. Now, if I could just get 1.2 additional premium subscribers a month over the next year, it would be paid for and I can continue to take care of the forum myself for now.  (we haven't had any new subscribers in the last 3 months, so please consider it.)

As an example, I made a youtube short last night from my experience of having a goose land near me in the pond.  With the hotspot, it would of taken 3-4 hoirs to upload. With starlink it took maybe 2 minutes.

Seconds to upload.  I'd about given up on photos from the cabin

I struggled with crappy internet for a couple of years as Satellite and DSL were both about the same.  I had checked for Starlink in the past and it wasn't available.  Then one day it was and I immediately ordered it.  No more stuttering videos. YAY!

I hate that the sky is just getting super filled with satellites and nobody cleaning up the space junk.  At least new satellites have a time to live and planned reentry to take care of that.  Now we have unburned pieces just plunking down in the ocean.  I guess nature will eventually take care of them.

Hopefully I outlive the inevitable carnage.
